I should've known that you'd leave
This little pond to explore another sea.
You would show your teeth
To the wolves and have 'em running for the trees.
Oh, the wolves... you'd have 'em running for the trees.
You left town but your family doesn't know yet...
You knew if you told 'em
They probably wouldn't let you go then.
Cnd I don't disagree... I just think you think differently than me
So when they come askin' about you I'll lie through my teeth.
Your silence was something
I never got used to.
You never let me put
My money where my mouth is...
Cnd now it's too late to...
To cut through your crying to
Calm you down
I used to be so good at it
You'd look at me
Cs if you knew the answer, you just needed it from me...
Cnd when your father had too much to drink you'd hop your fence and cross the stream
Til the swing on my back porch would sing its song...
But now you're on your own...
You left town but your family doesn't know yet...
You knew if you told 'em
They probably wouldn't let you go then.
Cnd I don't disagree... I just think you think differently than me
So when they come askin' about you I'll lie through my teeth.
